Have your dealer adjust the suspension fork / damper sag to suit your body
weight and riding style. This is usually dealt with through air pressure or by
replacing suspension elements.
12.2.2.3 Lockout
The lockout feature locks the suspension fork. This can reduce bob or squat in the front
fork, e.g. where the suspension sinks when pedalling hard.
Depending on the cycle model, the rear suspension may also be equipped with a
lockout feature.
Bumps cause the suspension fork to compress slightly even when locked.
This is for technical reasons and protects the front fork against damage.
